Marylander Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It just occurred to me that I hardly ever see ANY older Camaros, either here on the forum or out on the road. Isn't anyone driving/collecting those anymore? Have imports kicked the Camaros to the dustbin? Or is it just here in the DC area? Kinda sad, actually. When I was a teenager in the 80s Camaros and Firebirds were everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicHD Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just helped my buddy get his '84 Iroc running again. It hasnt been on the road in about 10 years. Only problem with it, its a gutless 305ci powered slug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We have one that still needs to be finished but its not a 72-2005. Its a 70. We are in no hurry to get it done right away. We are taking our time putting it back as close to original as possible. It will be a street legal dragstrip car. It still needs a race trans and a 572 crate motor. It will be blue like our 76 Vette when its done being painted. We are not sure whether or not we should put black stripes or white on it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

694doorbird Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 There are several running around here in Tulsa. Most of them look like they aren't cared for. Saw one almost get totaled a couple nights ago on the way to work. Must have been a early '90's Camaro running the left lane doing way more than the speed limit. Some one in a mini van getting on the highway pulled directly into the left lane. If the Camaro driver wasn't paying attention, it would have been very bad.

whiterp199 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I thought it went to 02 It did. That is why no one ever sees an 03, 04, or 05 Camaro. I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, wise-guys... that's why I wrote "2005-ish" in the title! It's hard to believe it was 2002, though -- that seems like a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
